Charteris Road, London

“A beautifully renovated apartment, close to the lush grounds of Queen’s Park”

This airy two-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a handsome Victorian house in north-west London. The interiors retain the building’s incredible proportions, creating a sense of light and volume, while a recent renovation introduces a highly refined selection of materials and finishes. Well positioned, the apartment sits moments from the village atmosphere of Salusbury Road and the historic 30 acres of Queen’s Park.

The Tour

Charteris Road is a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac in the Queen's Park area of north London. The house forms part of a beautiful Victorian terrace and echoes the traditional vernacular, with a London brick-and-stucco front and large box bay windows.

The front door opens onto a communal hall, where a staircase leads to the private entrance on the first floor. On the landing, a full-height cupboard painted in COAT’s ‘Petticoat Lane’ stores coats and shoes.

At the front of the plan is the open-plan kitchen and living room, flooded with natural light from a large bay window. An atmosphere of calm permeates through, with walls washed in off-white tones from Farrow & Ball and new oak floorboards underfoot. To one side, the kitchen has clean lines and pairs dark-stained cabinets with quartz worktops.

Two spacious bedrooms occupy the rest of the plan and match the apartment’s simple design scheme. The principal bedroom has floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes, while both bedrooms overlook neighbouring treetops at the rear.

The bathroom is beautifully composed, with a built-in bath with a marble surround, Vitra fixtures, and Mandarin Stone chequerboard tiles underfoot. A custom vanity by Parker and Howley ties the scheme together.

The Area

Charteris Road is in the heart of Queen’s Park, a quiet, leaf-draped street known for its handsome period architecture. Moments away lies Salusbury Road, renowned for its curated mix of independent coffee houses, artisan bakeries, boutiques, and standout gastropubs. A short stroll further reveals Lonsdale Road, a village-like cobblestone street turned bustling hub for design-led studios and acclaimed dining spots.

The verdant grounds of Queen’s Park itself are just around the corner, providing sweeping open lawns, tennis courts, and a popular weekly farmers’ market.

Transport is excellent: Queen’s Park Station is within easy reach, running direct Bakerloo Line services into Central London alongside London Overground routes toward Hampstead Heath and East London.
